Coexisting cranial and multiple spinal meningioma in a child-report of a case
(2011) Sujeet Kumar Shukla; Adarsh Trivedi; Vivek Sharma; Kulwant Singh
Von Ricklinghausen's disease is commonly associated with simultaneous cranial and spinal meningioma but these are not true meningiomas. Craniospinal meningiomas without Von Ricklinghausen's disease are very rare. We report a 13-year-old girl who presented with two episodes of right focal seizure with secondary generalisation of three year's duration, weakness of both lower limbs for 6 months, and retention of urine of three month's duration. MRI brain showed enhancing lesion in the left fronto-parietal region. MRI spine revealed enhancing intradural extramedullary lesion at D4-5, D9-10, and L1-2. The tumours were excised completely in a single stage, first by craniotomy then by multi level laminectomy. On histology the spinal meningioma had predominant meningothiliomatous. We followed up for 6 months and the patient recovered with power grade 4/5 both lower limb. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
Primary lumbosacral intradural hydatid cyst in a child
(2010) Sujeet Kumar Shukla; Vivek Sharma; Kulwant Singh; Adarsh Trivedi
Primary spinal hydatid cyst is very rare lesion affecting less than 1% of the total cases of the hydatid disease. In this study, we report a case of spinal hydatid in a 5-year old boy presented with a history of backache, leg pain, difficulty in walking, and bowel and bladder incontinence for 4 months. An intradural nonenhancing cystic lesion was detected using magnetic resonance imaging from L4 to sacral region, and histopathological findings were suggestive of hydatid cyst.
